About this album

Barbara Carroll is a graceful showcase for the pianist’s elegant touch and lyrical sense of swing. Issued in 1976, the album finds Carroll interpreting a set that bridges standards and contemporary material, including “I Can’t Get Started,” “Prelude To A Kiss” and Joni Mitchell’s “At Seventeen”. Her playing is supple and conversational, balancing clarity with warmth in a style that made her one of jazz’s most distinctive pianist-vocalists. Rather than chasing flash, the record emphasises melodic poise, tasteful accompaniment and the understated sophistication that defined Carroll’s long career on club stages, radio and records.
